Here at Set Free, we did a deep dive on what we all struggle with: pride. So, lets define it. Pride is the result of feeling shame, and a replacement for validation. It is a desperate attempt to soothe the wounds of a lie. So, how do we beat it? We aim to reside in the truth of Jesus, where we find the contrary action: humility. For Christ is the ultimate example of humility; coming to this world as a man to teach us, love us, and gift us salvation. Let us fight pride by showing Christ-like humility, lifting others up the way He's lifted us. Check out these bible verses to store in your hearts.
1 Corinthians 13:6 "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth."
John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'"
James 4:10 "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up."
